Live comments

  • 0' - The stage is set the green flag drops! Another match against Japan and Costa Rica has kicked off!
  • 5' - The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds. He is still to establish what should not be done by the players and what is acceptable on the pitch. It’s going to be a tough game for Yuto Nagatomo suffering a number of foals already.
  • 10' - While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Ayase Ueda made 79 appearances and scored 61 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 15' - It looks like no one’s ball. Japan is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
  • 20' - We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?

  • 30' - Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
  • 35' - Japan is showing some good football. However, Japan are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.

  • 44' - Miki Yamane was booked on 44.
  • 46' - Another substitution for Japan to replace Ayase Ueda by Takuma Asano on 46 minute.
